Yah, the Tutorial Details is something Jonathan recommended. I’ll look into doing this on other tutorials. It’s one of those things on my to do list. Thx.

I was hoping you’d show the text that I started with so people can get an idea of how much editing there was. But this is cool too.
Hope you guys like!

Thanks. Yeah, I really thought those details help give a standard and quick overview of the tut.

Jonathan, good points. I went ahead and added a couple more images to this post to show where the text starts from – how it starts as plain text. I love how you customize the text and turn it into illustrated lettering. Thx.
